Apulia Horror International Film Festival (AHIFF) has officially announced the call for your horror and thriller short films! The event celebrates our favorite genre through a lineup full of meetings, seminars, master classes, workshops, contests, exhibitions, and artistic and visual installations with screenings of out-of-competition feature films and short films.
The event is organized by Girasud Film for the cultural association, Ra.Ne. – Rainbow Network for the logistic organization, as well as filmmakers Andrea Cavalera and Francesco Corchia. The first edition of this event will take place in Gallipoli on the 7th, 8th and 9th of June 2019, in the wonderful Galleria Dei Due Mari, adjacent to the Angevine Castle at the entrance to the old town center.
AHIFF features directors, actors and protagonists of the world of cinema and culture, including Davide Pulici (film critic and founder of Nocturno magazine), Roberto Silvestri (news reporter and film critic), Luigi Pastore (director, screenwriter, producer), Sergio Stivaletti (SFX creator and director), and many more to be announced. The festival is also currently in talks with Claudio Simonetti and a guest star who remains top secret for now.
AHIFF will screen short films from all over the world, whose registration can be made by visiting this website. The awards include two categories: best short film (awarded by a jury composed of the artistic directors and a quality jury) and the critics’ prize (decided by news reporters and professionals in the sector). Registration has just begun and will remain open until the 10th of April, and official selections will be screened during the festival and compete for awards. Need more time? You can still apply for a ‘late’ registration until the 30th of April.
